Services for transplant centres

We can help you find blood stem cell and bone marrow donors, with our register of over 700,000 donors

Our Operations and Patient Services Division facilitates requests from transplant centres and registries to find matches for patients. We also provide services, information and training resources for health care professionals that are working with stem cell transplants.

On these pages you’ll find information and resources to support your work. If you have any questions, contact our Customer Services team on 0303 303 0303 or customer.services@anthonynolan.org.

Our services

We can organise the whole stem cell donation process from start to finish. This includes:

Searching registers: Our Search Team responds to requests from transplant centres and international registries to search UK and international registers to find potential matched unrelated donors or cord blood units for patients.

Making contact: We contact the donor or registry where the donor lives to arrange samples for verification and diagnostic tests once matches are identified.

Arranging the donation: Once the best match is identified, our team makes all the arrangements for the donation, including for the stem cells to be collected and delivered to the patient.

Organising couriers: We provide an outstanding volunteer courier service to collect and deliver stem cells from donors anywhere in the world to patients here in the UK.

Looking after donors: We take donor welfare very seriously – we look after them throughout the donation process, including visiting them on their collection, and follow up with them for 10 years post-donation.
